Course Withdrawal Information

Thinking about withdrawing? Let's chat.

Before you withdraw from a course or all of your courses, explore the support and resources available to help you stay on track.

Many challenges can be addressed with the right support. Speaking with someone before making a final decision can help you understand the academic and financial impact of withdrawing and identify resources that may help you succeed.

Remember: Withdrawing from a course is different from withdrawing from all of your courses. Each decision may affect your academic progress, financial aid, graduation timeline and future enrollment.


Before You Decide

A counselor can help you:

  • Understand how withdrawing may affect your academic plan.
  • Explore alternative course options.
  • Discuss your path toward graduation.
  • Review whether adjusting your schedule may better support your goals.

Schedule an appointment with Counseling

Withdrawing from a course may affect:

  • Financial aid eligibility
  • Scholarships
  • Grants
  • Student loans
  • Tuition refunds
  • Future financial aid eligibility

Before withdrawing, speak with Financial Aid to understand how your aid may be impacted.

Contact Financial Aid

If you're struggling in a course, your instructor may be able to help.

Faculty can help you understand:

  • Course expectations
  • Your current standing in the course
  • Available tutoring and academic support services
  • Whether staying enrolled is the best option

Tri-C offers many services designed to help students succeed, including:

  • Tutoring
  • Academic Success
  • Writing assistance
  • Math support
  • Study skills resources

Sometimes a little extra support is all that's needed to successfully complete your course.

If your current course format isn't meeting your scheduling or learning needs, another option may be a better fit.

Tri-C offers courses in a variety of formats:

  • In-person
  • Online
  • Live Online
  • Hybrid

You may be able to find a section that better supports your schedule and learning preferences.
